My invention relates to a urinal and a box to be used therewith.

Some men after urinating also need the use of toilet paper. This is notpossible with the existing urinals.

The object of my invention is to provide a urinal in which this need iscomplied with.

The urinal according to my invention is provided with means fordelivering toilet paper and for taking up used toilet paper so that theurinal cannot be choked up thereby.

These means may consist of a box with a holder for toilet paper and aremovable bag for taking up used toilet paper, which can consequently besimply emptied at fixed periods. Preferably the bag is present in thebox and is covered by a flap lid of the box.

According to another embodiment of my invention the urinal provided witha holder for toilet paper has an open channel to the sewer for removingthe used paper. Preferably the water line is then provided with a branchto this channel for removing the used paper.

My invention also includes the box to be used with this urinal which boxis provided with a holder for the toilet paper and a bag preferablycovered by a flap lid for taking up the used paper.

By way example my invention is further illustrated by means of someembodiments represented in the drawing.

Figure 1 shows a perspective view of the urinal provided with a boxaccording to my invention.

Figure 2 represents this box in cross section and Figure 3 shows anotherembodiment of a urinal according to my invention.

According to the embodiment of Figure 1 near the urinal l a box 2 isarranged. This contains a holder at the otuside, e. g. for a reel oftoilet 2 paper which may be narrower than the usual toilet paper.

At the inside the box is provided with a bag 4 with at the upper part asolid ring 5, which bag is used for taking up the used toilet paper 6.The box is closed by a lid 1 with a finger 8. If desired, the lid may beexecuted in two halves which can be opened with a lever by means of afoot pedal.

In the embodiment of Figure 3 in the urinal proper an opening 5 is madewhich is connected with a channel It emptying into the sewer. To thischannel goes a side branch I I from the water line H! for removing theused toilet paper.

The urinal I further has a holder It for toilet paper.

Of course several varieties of my invention are possible, instead of aroll of toilet paper e. g. a packet of toilet paper can be used which isplaced in a holder, e. g. in zigzag fashion.

I claim:

A urinal having a water line emptying therein and a drain outlettherebelow, a descending channel formed alongside said urinal and havingan opening for disposal of paper therein, the bottom of said channelemptying into said drain below its mouth in the urinal, and a water lineconnected to said channel so as to flush away paper dropped therein.
